Pros and Cons... Passive Radiators?


Recommended Posts

hey... you posted my vid before i could ..haha

those E8s use my blown axis top assembly as the radiator, it sounded great in my car. its in my room shakin my house now.

one thing i saw about doin this is you need the radiator to move twice as much volume as the speaker pushing it.

Can you send me that song plz :)

I don't really quite get how a passive radiator works. When the active sub moves out, does the radiator move in? Wouldn't that then cancel the waves? I understand you need the radiator to have double the output in either cone area or excursion, but wouldn't the active subs cancel out like half of what the radiator is playing?

if you watch the video at tuning the radiator moves the farthest it will, while the subs move very little. and the opposite happend further above tuning, the radiator moves very little while the subs move alot. Under tuning they move about the same and there is a drop of in sound.

Alright, that makes more sense. Thanks.
